Center Meeting House

At the Center Meeting House Board of Directors meeting on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 night at the Town Offices the bell tower's status was reviewed.  Bill Weiler, chairman of the project reaffirmed that the tower work should be completed on budget and on time.  Completion is slated for December 1, 2009, plus or minus a day or so. 

In the photo to the right is a picture of the dome before it was cladded and place back into place.  Jeff Thurston is the craftsman responsible for most of the carpentry that you see going into this restoration.

Dan Wolf, Chairman of the Board of Directors noted that it would be good to have a celebration as soon as possible after the completion and to have a ceremonial ringing of the bell at that time.

Watch this site for further developments on this subject.

The tower is starting to take on a feeling of completion.  If you drive by tomorrow (Nov 19) you will see the clapboard being installed.  And don't forget that sometime in the next two weeks or so we will be treated to the excitement that always ensues when cranes and man-lifts arrive on the scene. 

Everyone on the board of directors is enthused about the progress and also about the prospects of a celebration.  I find that everywhere I go, people are asking me about the status of the tower.  The whole town is ready to see it back up on the meeting house. You won't want to miss possibly the last moment of "high anxiety" as a piece of the meeting house hangs from a crane.  I will give you adequate notice of when the big day will be.  So check back often.
